Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Figuring out where I went wrong
This grip top collar then was all for long
Too much luck, too little of
The acting right, not acting up
[Verse 2]
I worn the world upon my back
Thought someone else but me'd pick up the slack
Just because I could say
'Cause I like doing things my way
[Chorus]
Now I'm looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Verse 3]
Color a lot with a broader stroke
The life becomes as easy as the jokes
Nowadays I'm thinking that
Time is wasted looking back
[Chorus]
Now looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Bridge]
You drop a bucket anyway
It's dark and deep down there
Crank my handle, bring it up
The war that crystal clear
[Chorus]
I'm looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Chorus]
Looking up more than I look down
The view's a whole lot better second time around
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground
[Outro]
Looking up
Looking up
Looking up
Looking up
